well I have yet to meet doug. Unfortunately I could not get into webkinz world until about a half hour ago or so. I have seen the locks though. When i go to the W shop it shows little locks and then they magically dissappear really fast. of course for webkinz world to lock me out of anything would be wierd i have 230 webkinz, all of the charms, all virtual charms except for the genie lamp, a magical retriver and so much more. I have yet to look at the W shop on my other accounts but I am sure I will get to it. I am wondering what Ganz has in store for us. I am so excited.
Happy hunting for Doug.

From my perspective, since 2008 Halloween when all the glitches - I mean, MAJOR - were occurring in Webkinz World....that every single time GANZ adds something new and exciting to WWorld, there are major problems????? I don't try anything new of theirs and haven't for some time, because things like this keep being reported by our wonderful staff at the Insider.

I truly feel for everyone who was literally ROBBED of all that hard work, time, and collecting their gems, just to have them taken the VERY FIRST TRY! How ludicrous!!!!

I went through a month of trying to collect my earned Magical Forest Tiara..and that was a major headache! Since then, I won't try anything new until it is reported back here (thank God for the Insider, again **) that it is working fine.

It will be interesting to see if Ganz replaces the Members' stolen gems...and proving you actually had the said number of gems to any Customer Service Representative. Unless you kept count...and still, trying to get through to Customer Service is a major ordeal in itself. Totally making WWorld not fun this past year. They even had trouble with their own Contests!

There better be some good life lesson talks going on here with parents and kids. I know this is a game, but the whole "ask a stranger for candy" thing is rubbing me the wrong way. I really hesitated to post this. Maybe I am just too old for all this.

I have to disagree here, mostly about Doug being a stranger. They have several stories in Webkinz World about Doug, so Webkinz has let us know who Doug is. Also, they put up a Front Page newz about him, letting us know again who he is.

As for looks, I guess I have watched too many Indiana Jones movies, as he just looks like that to me. I like Indiana Jones, so I never did have a problem with the way Doug looks.

I know somethings about programming and it is hard to think of everything when making a program. And even if you get the program itself right - by itself, it may clash with an existing program - something you would never have thought of.

I am not surprised by gliches, I just want the problem fixed as quickly as they can fix it (and to be communicated with). I would recommend that anyone who lost gems, contact Ganz and ask for the gems to be returned.
